BrewShuffle.com - Home brew swap website

gauzzastrip · 11-30-2011, 07:53 PM

I've been working on this site for a few months now and it's at a point where it would be great to get some feedback. A friend of mine reminded me to post it here to get your comments/suggestions/feedback.
brewshuffle.com - Share your home brew
Originally this idea came to me because I felt I could use some real construction criticism / feedback about my beers and not just friends telling me it tastes good to them. Since then a few people have told me it would be great for home brew clubs and they were going to try to get their clubs to start using it.

It allows a brewer to list any home brew they want to share. There is a local home brew map that allows people to find other brewers locally and exchange beer.
Today I just pushed up code for an event system that allows brewers to create a brew event and have other users mark if they are attending or not.

There may not be any brewers in your area, so if you want to see an area with some content you can go here
BrewShuffle.com - Brew Map - 17601.

Again any feed back is very much appreciated.

Thanks for taking a look and signing up. Let me know if you have any questions / suggestions (or if anythings broken).

I'd only question the legality of it all. It's a great idea otherwise.

I am pretty sure it is legal to share your home brew with people local to you. I think it might get into legal issues when you start trying to sell or ship your home brew. As for shipping I'm not advocating it, but it is legal in some states and some people manage to ship through UPS. It is on the home brewer if they decide to ship their home brew.
I have thought about letting a brewer add their paypal donation ID which would make a little donate link show up on their brewer page. I think that would be legal as well because people would just be donating money to the home brewer not asking for money to sell their beer.

Signed up. Seems like a cool idea to cross club boundaries.
